Introduction
Product Overview
The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Honeywell's patented CodeGateTM technology, Eclipse can be
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to
easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.
With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse
has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width
of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In
addition, the laser beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the
scanner senses a bar code (CodeSenseTM Mode), the laser beam automatically
switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning
and accuracy.
Many standard features are included such as: user configurable Flash ROM,
PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSetTM2 and MetroSelectTM
configuration, and data editing (parsing).

Audible Indicators
When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible
feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings
are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone).
For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line
MetroSelect Configuration Guide.
One Beep On Power Up
The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep
once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scanner is
now ready to scan.
One Beep During Operation
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the
scanner will beep once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not beep
once and the red light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Three Beeps During Operation
When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the scanner
simultaneously beeps three times. The red LED will continue to flash until the
unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will
beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing.
When configured for communication timeout, three beeps during operation will
indicate that a communication timeout has occurred.
Three Beeps On Power Up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on
page 16.
Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator or an invalid code read during configuration mode.
Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on page 16.
14
Visual Indicators
The MS5145 is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the
scanner's state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.
Figure 12. LED Color and Location
Green and Red LEDs Are Off
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.
Steady Green
Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a
razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.
Flashing Green
After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will be shortened.
During this time the green LED will flash. This indicates that the scanner is in a
power saver mode. When a bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will
wake up and return to normal pulse mode.
Steady Green and Single Red Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the
scanner will beep. If the red LED does not flash and the scanner does not beep,
then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady Green and Steady Red
After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some
communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is
ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the
scanner's red LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.
Steady Green and Continuous Flashing Red
When entering the configuration mode, the red LED will flash, the green LED will
turn on and the scanner will beep three times. The red LED will continue to flash
and the green LED will stay on until the unit exits the configuration mode.
15
Failure Modes
One Razzberry Tone On Power Up
This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure.
Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.
Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs
If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the
scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an
Authorized Service Center.
Three Beeps On Power Up
If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the non-volatile memory
(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit for
repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Configuration and Upgrades
Configuration Modes
The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration.
· Bar Codes
The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the
®
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide. This manual is available for
download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
®
· MetroSet 2
®
This user-friendly Windows -based configuration program allows you to
simply `point-and-click' at the desired scanner options. MetroSet2 is
available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
· Serial Programming
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. Serial
programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of
commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are
equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.
How does Serial Configuration work?
1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].
EXAMPLE #1:
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].
Note: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work. The user must start over.
27
4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A
BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE.
5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout
occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.
6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx].
7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps.
8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits
settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the
scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the
scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect
until after serial configuration mode is exited.
EXAMPLE #2:
The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings,
Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add
a "G" as a configurable prefix.

The scanner will beep three times!
The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted
3
three ( ) that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect
3
manual. THE THREE ( ) SHOULD NOT BE SENT. IT IS A CODE TYPE
DESIGNATION ONLY!
For commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned (such as
prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the same
order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

EXAMPLE #3:
The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code
is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the
baud rate to 19200.

The scanner will beep three times!
This example illustrates two important points.
First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.
Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate
does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.
